BAKED
PLANTAIN CHIPS
Hi folks, today
I want to share with you my BAKED PLANTAIN CHIPS recipe.
I’ve realised
every trip I make to the grocery, my nephew and niece love the snack isle,
particularly they fight over plantain chips.
Sometimes, we need
to let children chose their snacks for themselves. As parents and caregivers we
are to give them advice and educate them on their selections or choices.
So, I had a
really nice talk with them about the kinds of chips they were choosing, and of
course they did not want to hear anything I had to say…. So what I did was….I
made them myself at home and they absolutely loved it…as usual.
Things you need:
2 half ripe
plantain or (firmness of your choice)
½ teaspoon salt
1 baking dish
This is how I like to use the plantains. Not too green , neither too ripe.
Instructions:
1. Peel plantain and slice very thinly in circles ( 1/16 inch thick)
2. Place in baking tray
3. Pre heat over to 375 degrees
4. Bake for 15- 20 minutes until chips have crisped up a bit and are
golden brown.
5. Take out of oven and allow to cool
6. Add salt ( remember do not add too much as this is a contributory
factor for hypertension)
You can place
them in zip lock bags and the kids can have them as an evening snack or simply take
them to school.
NB My nephew and niece like things a bit spicy so I added cayenne and blackpepper to it as well.
Let me know what you all think .
Stay tuned folks :)
Tried this from you and it was sooo good!
